SUSTAINABILITY & CSR
KC Peaches is committed to the ongoing progress and development of our corporate social responsibilities. We have, since day one, put a high value on creating and using sustainable practices throughout our business. As our company grows, we seek to find better practices that are well informed and based on the needs of our local community and the wider global picture.
1
Business sustainability
Our company uses the three Rs as our philosophy towards how we Reduce, Reuse and Recycle resources to minimise the negative impact from our company. We develop systems to minimise the impact we bring to our city, and our innovative culinary kitchens and transportation solutions are designed to operate with minimal environmental disruption.

Our workforce
Our workforce is our strongest asset and we look at ways to make our industry sustainable for our employees. We believe that working in our industry can be a future proof career and we nuture our people to help them grow and develop. We engage with our employees to find solutions to life's daily issues and offer such incentives such as bike to work schemes, and more.

The marketplace
As our business grows we are committed to making responsible commercial decisions. We work with the best local and national suppliers and partners who have a similar ethical ethos to ours. Our partners are certified Origin Green where possible, and all our suppliers and supply chain partners can provide full traceability on all products used in our business. This is a key factor when choosing a new supplier.

Food safety standards
Our food safety standards are at the core of everything we do. We use our food safety standards as a tool to minimise food waste and bring controls to the urban kitchen which in turn reduces food waste and energy usage. We work with Food Safety Excellence Ireland to continually review and monitor our food safety policies and audits within all our kitchens.
